Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Qingdao Youth Island 1.48 xG and Wuhan Three Towns 1.03 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Qingdao Youth Island attack 1.026 / defence 1.058 | Wuhan Three Towns attack 0.789 / defence 0.876. League average goals — home 1.644 / away 1.234. Data: 31 Qingdao Youth Island games / 31 Wuhan Three Towns games used (Blended). A blend of current and prior-season data is applied to stabilise estimates early in the campaign.

Result probabilities: Qingdao Youth Island 47% | Draw 28% | Wuhan Three Towns 26%. Fair-value odds: Qingdao Youth Island 2.13 | Draw 3.57 | Wuhan Three Towns 3.85. Qingdao Youth Island hold a narrow Poisson edge at 47% — the draw (28%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 46% | BTTS probability 50% | Total xG 2.51. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 46%/54% — the total xG of 2.51 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS probability of 50% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Qingdao Youth Island at 47% — moderate model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw probability of 28% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Qingdao Youth Island if the outright odds are short.

On the goals line, Poisson's 2.51 combined xG gives a 46% probability to Under 2.5 — Poisson-only — limited corroboration — though form averaging only 3.0 goals per game points in the other direction.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 50%. Form rates corroborate: Qingdao Youth Island 80% | Wuhan Three Towns 50% BTTS from recent games.

The Poisson model is drawing on Blended data (31 games minimum) — early-season projections carry additional uncertainty. Weight the live form and odds signals accordingly.
